Hakuba Happo-One

With a vertical drop of 1,071 meters and a longest run of 8 km, Happo-One Ski Resort offers one of the largest ski areas in Japan. From wide, gentle slopes for beginners to steep, ungroomed terrain for experts, there’s a course for every skill level.

Nestled in the Northern Japanese Alps, Happo-One boasts consistently light and dry powder snow thanks to its high altitude and cold climate. On clear days, you’ll be greeted with spectacular panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and deep blue skies.

Happo-One hosted the alpine skiing events for the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics. Today, the very same courses are open to the public, offering the unique chance to follow in the tracks of the world’s top competitors.

At the base of the slopes, you’ll find hot spring baths, restaurants, cafés, and bars to keep the fun going after a day on the mountain. As an international hub, Hakuba Village welcomes visitors from around the world, offering diverse dining options and a lively cultural atmosphere.
